IC8300

    InterCam 8300 Camera is the world first  open source standalone Astronomy Cooled Deep Sky Camera and world first Camera with fully Internet ConnectionCamera via WIFI. IC8300 is a classic mono camera using the very popular 8.6mega pixel KAF8300 CCD sensor. This sensor has a good QE for deep skyimaging. It has two stage TEC and typical delta T is -45C below ambient.Builtin heating plate and an external drying interfaces, effectively avoid condensation problems at low temperatures .
      In addition to the strong cooling effect, low thermal noise and the low readout noise, IC8300 also builtin a ARM system . you can use it without a computer . WIFI  interface allows wireless control, remote login. The camera also includes two serial ports, a USB host interface, a 4pin filter wheel interface. By appropriate software, you can access the equatorial ,electric focusing, a guiding camera. Achieve a complete imaging system.  IC8300 includes builtin LINUX operating system. QHYCCD provides LINUX version of EZCAP software, INDI drivers. IC8300 global open source developers also provides iAstroHub for IC8300 and other applications. In addition to  stand-alone  mode, IC8300 also provides a common USB camera mode, you can connect with the computer as an ordinary astronomical camer via USB cable.
      QHYCCD provides WINDOWS version of EZCAP software and ASCOM drivers.
